I was thinking of setting up a computer in a back bedroom in our house. Because the room would eventually be used as a rec room, it would be nice if the computer could play back some video and record TV.
The only problem is, the only computer I can put back there that has the possibility of being networked is an old Pentium 133.
I was planning on using VNC to have the old computer control one of our "newer" ones. Would RealVNC (link) run acceptably on a Pentium 133 and Pentium 3 866? Could I use this to view videos on the old computer? Would I need anything special?
And slightly off topic, if I use the tuner, can I record things to another computer's hard drive if i set up networking?
